Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 19, 2021 - Decanted off of its sediment. Proper aged burg color, but with a clear edge.

Nose was good from the get go, with dark red fruit, but more dominated by a woodsy tertiary note, and a bit of mustiness, which blew off. It continued to improve through the night.

The palate, on the other hand, started off tight, with a dominant cough syrup flavor. That too subsided, and though the wine maintains a Nuits-iron core, it has an elegance that says Vosne.

This was outstanding, and the reason we age burgs. I opened my last bottle six or eight years ago. That was quite hard-edged. This was much better, resolved, and really drinking well. It was quite reasonably priced back in the day. Wish I had more than one bottle remaining. Great today, but I don’t think there’s any hurry to drink up.

As with most great bottles, the last sip was the best.
